30 MPH FRONT/REAR CRASH WITH HUMAN TEST PERSONS

This paper describes crash tests and sled tests with human test persons and Hybrid II dummies. To obtain a realistic accident simulation the tests were run with standard Audi 80 vehicles fitted with the standard seat belt systems. The results clearly demonstrate that none of the test persons sustain any kind of physical injury at a precisely defined level of accident severity. In some cases considerable differences are revealed between the loadings imposed on the dummies and the human test persons.
